-A glimpse into the fragile psyche of a dancer.- --The Washington
Post Jenifer Ringer, a principal dancer with the New York City
Ballet, was thrust into the headlines after her weight was
commented on by a New York Times critic, and her response ignited a
public dialogue about dance and weight. Ballet aficionados and
aspiring performers of all ages will want to join Ringer behind the
scenes as she shares her journey from student to star and candidly
discusses both her struggle with an eating disorder and the media
storm that erupted after the Times review. An unusually upbeat
account of life on the stage, Dancing Through It is also a
coming-of-age story and an inspiring memoir of faith and of triumph
over the body issues that torment all too many women and men.
